Covariate Shift and Concept Drift Detection

To ensure the long-term success of machine learning models, it's essential to understand how to effectively monitor them in production. As machine learning becomes more widely adopted in the business world, post-deployment data science is emerging as an important field. This course covers all the essential concepts related to monitoring machine learning systems in production, in order to maintain business value, reduce the risk of failure, and increase visibility.

<h2> Machine Learning Monitoring Concepts</h2>
Machine learning models influence more and more decisions in the real world. These models need monitoring to prevent failure and ensure that they provide business value to your company. This course will introduce you to the fundamental concepts of creating a robust monitoring system for your models in production.

<h2>Explore the Challenges of Monitoring Models in Production</h2>
Deploying a model in production is just the beginning of the model lifecycle. Even if it performs well during development, it can fail due to continuously changing production data. In this course, you will explore the difficulties of monitoring a model’s performance, especially when there’s no ground truth.
